Stabbed Davenport charged for assaulting sister

West Ham defender Calum Davenport has been charged with assaulting his sister during an incident in which he was stabbed in both legs.

The 26-year-old Davenport denied Wednesday's charge of causing actual bodily harm to Cara Davenport.

Cara Davenport's boyfriend, Worrell Whitehurst, has already appeared in court after being charged with attacking Calum Davenport and his mother, Kim Stupple, in August.

Calum Davenport, a former England Under-21 international, underwent emergency surgery for stab wounds after the incident in Bedford. The center back has been able to return to light training.
